I have played modded Minecraft for a long time now but the AE2 mechanics always confused me... especially the p2p.
I have tried to watch a lot of videos about it but it seems none of them really explain how everything needs to be in order it to work... its always "Do this and this and that's it".

Sorry for the long intro... here is my problem:
I'm trying to make auto crafting for processors so I set up 5 advanced inscribers (4 for circuits and 1 for the finished processors), each processor has an ME interface attached and ME import bus to extract the result, a total of 10 channels. Of course, I used a dense me smart cable for the 32 channels per side. 2018-12-16_16.54.49.png

But in order to use all 10 channels, I need a p2p connected to the dense cable and for 4 of the inscribers.2018-12-16_16.54.56.png 2018-12-16_16.55.11.png

As you can see the p2p says it's online but all the interfaces and import buses are offline 2018-12-16_17.01.32.png
and I have no idea why its happening, I have all the channels for it the smart cable after the p2p says 8 out of 8 channels and the one before says 1 out of 8 channels which is how it supposed to be as far as I understood.2018-12-16_17.04.12.png 2018-12-16_16.48.42.png

After all that I'm trying to plug in the 5th inscriber with the p2p, now I have 2 p2p's.
before I link them they say exactly what they are supposed to say 1 out of 8 before the p2p and 8 out of 8 after the p2p that connected to the 4 inscribers and 2 out of 8 after the p2p that connected to the 1 inscriber.
When I link them both of them are saying 0 out of 8 channels after both of the p2p and 1 out of 8 channels before both of the p2p.

I'm lost
PLS HELP

ADD:
of course i can avoid the entire problem by using another side of the controller (which won't be a problem i have 25 controllers there)
but i want to learn how to deal with p2p

Ehm, where is the other end of the P2P tunnel connected???

The P2P tunnel does not just magically create more channels. It "tunnels" the subnetwork through to a linked P2P interface. You link them with the ME Memory card(or called something similar). It is the same one you can use to copy BUS settings.
Also, both the tunnelling network AND the subnetwork needs to be powered and have available channels.

Here is an example of how to use the P2P tunnels to reduce cabling(what I also call the "channel exploit"):

Here the white network carries many more channels than it otherwise would be able to, through the use of p2P tunnels.


Here is an example of how they were initially intended to be used:

Allowing you to have separated subnetworks be tunnelled through your main network to other locations.

thank you
you helped me a lot to understand the p2p mechanics
